MANAGEMENT ASPECTS OF THE AFOSR MANAGEMENT CONTROL DATA SYSTEM 'SOFTWARE'.

Abstract

The development of the AFOSR Management Control Data System input software is discussed. The vital relationship of this input software in the concept of the total system is stressed. The nature of MCDS input, the input/ output data relationships and the significance of the data transition points are defined. Ten Commandments of input data handling necessary to provide accurate, reliable, and timely output from the data store are presented. The application of behaviorism and communication theory to the handling of input software are described and related to the design of forms, methods, and procedures used by AFOSR to generate, record, process, and control the flow of input data to the data store of the MCDS.
